Wayne Ohlsson writes on Memorial Day, May 25, 2020: "Joachim von Rohr was major at Viborgs fort in the east of Finland. He lived there with his family. In about 1710 the Russians came and sieged the whole town of Viborg and the fort. They captured Joachim, his wife Anna Charlotta Klingenberg and their 4 children. Anna Elisabet, 18 years was the oldest. The Russians took them all the family to Siberia. It was not easy for them and I have seen a letter in which Joachim himself tells that they got some help from "the rich baron Struganof". [Anna Elisabeth Örbom was buried at] Humpis, Nådendal, Åbo/Turku, Finland.
